It's not so much anything negative about the Metro - I really only know anything about them from this site - as it is the positive experience I've always had with Hondas. The previous CRX was running fine at close to 300K miles, when it had an unfortunate encounter with water over the freeway (and on a sunny day in the Nevada summer, too!), and wound up going backwards down the road at about 60 mph. And the current Insight has had really zero problems that weren't caused by Bambi or tailgating Suburbans.

A Civic puts one into the high performance market, which I think is adequately covered (Atom etc) on the high bucks end and in the medium bucks, google <Midlana>. There's so much Civic hop-up and engine variety...
You'd know more about that than I do, but surely that variety of aftermarket stuff is a plus? And from what I've seen, it's aimed at pretty stock bodies, where I'd like a radical reshaping...
